What Our Readers Are Saying

Average customer rating 5 (2 comments)

"Your Money or Your Life" is a classic, the kind of book that produces immediate results, and reduces the need to read all the other financial books out there. Offering a specific plan for living low on the material chain, the book is chock full of helpful suggestions.
I read the book quickly, and followed some of the outlined plans for financial mastery. For a month I kept track of every penny I spent and found in the months since that I'm much more concious of what I spend. I have grown to have an aversion to impuslse buying, in part because the book brings home the wastefulness of materialism. I have really cut corners, and gotten rid of a lot
of useless clutter, and feel much better as a result.
Best of all, I have been able to live for almost a year on a third of what I spent when I was in a more fast track job.
Will this book work for anyone? I'm not sure about that, because the simple fact is, some people value possessions over free time. Some people are more than happy to work two jobs if it means being able to buy what they want, and live the lifestyle to which they are accustomed. I can't see the US being overrun with frugality anytime soon. But, for those who wish to live on less-- writers, stay at home moms, artists, or those needing to get out of debt-- this book is flawless.

This is one of those life-changing books everyone should read. It's all about consciousness and conscious living. the authors have you figure out your true "hourly wage." Then, when you make a purchase, you can determine how much of your life you just spent. Wow!
The goal is to achieve financial independence. Now, more than ever, this is a must-read.
